Abstract
Devices and methods are disclosed for monitoring a patient's compliance with an asthma inhaler treatment regimen. The device may monitor an inhaler's motion to determine whether the motion is characteristic of typical inhaler use. Additionally, the device may monitor a temperature of the inhaler or in proximity to the mouthpiece to determine whether a patient has used the inhaler. The devices and methods may incorporate a smart phone application that provides notifications and alerts to aid in compliance with the asthma medication regimen.
